PEMBROKE, N.C. — Nijel Jones, Quinton Godley and Eloheim Palma won individual championships Saturday, and seven other NC State wrestlers placed in the top six of their respective weight classes at the 2011 Pembroke Classic.

“I thought several of our guys had breakthrough performances today,” said Wolfpack assistant coach Lee Pritts, who coached the team at the Pembroke Classic. “This tournament was a tremendous learning experience for several of our guys. This shows that they’re buying into what we’re teaching them.”

Jones, who defeated Kenneth Radford of The Citadel and Sean Byrnes of Newberry in the semifinals and finals at 165 pounds, was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Wrestler. With his four victories at the Pembroke Classic, Jones improved to 9-4 on the young season.

Godley, who also won at the Wolfpack Open a week ago and finished sixth at the season-opening Hokie Open, improved to 12-3 with his championship at 174 pounds. Palma, the Wolfpack’s heavyweight, improved to 5-2 with three wins Saturday.

Fought’s performance was especially noteworthy. He bounced back from being pinned in the opening round of the tournament and won five straight matches, three of them by fall, to take third place. Fought, who is wrestling unattached in the early-season tournaments, is 8-2.
